APAC | Oedipus Doesn’t Live Here Anymore by Daniel Evans
About
Oedipus used to live here, but he’s long gone now.Set in a post-pandemic Brisbane, those who know the story of Oedipus’ downfall best meet to tell the tale as a warning to anyone who will listen: if no one does anything to stop a tyrant, we are all responsible for the outcome.
Oedipus Doesn’t Live Here Anymore by Daniel Evans is a razor-sharp, darkly funny reimagining of the classic myth, colliding ancient tragedy with modern absurdity. Unsettling, provocative, and unexpectedly tender, the play interrogates power, identity, and inherited violence with blistering wit. A bold, contemporary work that refuses comfort and demands attention.
Winner of the Queensland Premier’s Drama Award 2014–2015.
